The important moments in your tree's life.
It all starts with a tiny seed, nice and warm in the soil.
Your seedling is big enough to be welcomed into one of our nurseries, along with many others.
We’re here! Your tree has reached its new home: it’s been planted by a smallholder, who’ll take care of it for years to come.
Strike a pose! Now that it’s big enough, here’s a photo of your tree!

The important moments in your tree's life.
Roble is also known locally as 'araguaney' and is a popular decorative and ornamental plant. However, more relvant for our project is that Roble prevents soil erosion. With its long, strong roots, it consolidates large masses of earth and thereby stabilizes the soil. This is especially important in the dry forests of northern Colombia and Venenzuela where the tree is native.
The name says it all! Chrysea means golden and refers to the many large flowers of the Tabebuia.
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
It provides protection for crops and shade for livestock.
It protects young plants from the wind and reduces water evaporation from the soil.
The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.
The trees are planted in agroforestry systems that favor the virtuous interaction between the different species and their positive impact on the environment and on the land.
